项目摘要

The current proposal aims to implement a new approach to fieldwork in Egypt by looking at the broad spectrum of history - up until the present day - at multi-layered sites, including efforts to preserve heritage rather than only researching it. The project will undertake and develop a sustainable conservation policy for archaeological sites using the Asyut region in Middle Egypt, and the village of Shutb in particular, as a case-study. Rather than merely looking upon archaeological sites as salvage missions or narrow-eyed academic pursuits, the project supports local interests to better the lives of local communities so that they can function as working partners in preserving the site.The employed methodology promotes (1) better integration of preservation and heritage management methodologies and specialists into archaeological fieldwork projects, (2) coordination and collaboration amongst different institutions and agencies concerned with heritage preservation, (3) engaging with local communities, local heritage professionals and other stakeholders through training and capacity building by hands-on experience and implementation of projects. To achieve these goals, the British Museum will collaborate with an interdisciplinary team of Cairo-based consultants, staff of Cambridge University and local stake holders to develop a set of protection measures in order to uphold Shutb's archaeological value, to prevent further decay of the historic fabric and to enhance the socio-economic (living) conditions of the inhabitants. Two seasons of fieldwork in Shutb will include a series of surveys and meetings to assess the impact and perception of the village's presence on the archaeological remains and identify and prioritise meaningful ways of intervention. Further efforts to engaged local communities will focus on capacity building through documentation and training linked to tangible results - seeking to enable the next generation of curators to have skills to deliver such documentation themselves. Such engagement will facilitate the education of local communities about the value of the archaeology beneath them.Many of the defined threats to heritage also negatively affect people's health, such as proximity to garbage disposal and ground and water pollution. The gathered survey data will be used to define programmes to reduce and redirect garbage dumping and improve waste and water management systems of residential units to reduce ground pollution and increase personal health. Depending on the outcome of the community meetings and interviews; the project will develop solutions to the community's most pressing needs. Such an all-inclusive approach has never been tested in Egypt, where fieldwork has traditionally been physically and intellectually separated from the surrounding environment and communities. It is, however, an opportune moment to develop more sustainable methodologies as ancient tells are at risk from the forces of nature and the impact of social, political, and economic change. Through collaboration with the Ministry of Antiquities, the impact of the established methodology can be accelerated if implemented at other sites or -even more fundamentally- incorporated into governmental strategies.

目前的提案旨在通过考察迄今为止的多层次遗址的广泛历史，在埃及实施一种新的实地考察方法，包括保护遗产而不仅仅是研究遗产的努力。该项目将以埃及中部的艾斯尤特地区，特别是 Shutb 村为案例研究，为考古遗址制定可持续的保护政策。该项目不仅仅将考古遗址视为抢救任务或狭隘的学术追求，而是支持当地利益，改善当地社区的生活，以便他们能够作为保护遗址的工作伙伴。所采用的方法促进（1）更好地将保护和遗产管理方法和专家融入考古实地工作项目中，（2）与遗产有关的不同机构和机构之间的协调与合作 (3) 通过实践经验和项目实施的培训和能力建设，让当地社区、当地遗产专业人员和其他利益相关者参与进来。为了实现这些目标，大英博物馆将与开罗顾问、剑桥大学工作人员和当地利益相关者组成的跨学科团队合作，制定一套保护措施，以维护舒特卜的考古价值，防止历史建筑进一步腐烂，并改善居民的社会经济（生活）条件。舒特卜的两个季节的实地考察将包括一系列调查和会议，以评估该村庄的存在对考古遗迹的影响和看法，并确定和优先考虑有意义的干预方式。当地社区参与的进一步努力将侧重于通过与切实成果相关的文献记录和培训来进行能力建设，力求使下一代策展人拥有自己提供此类文献的技能。这种参与将有助于对当地社区进行有关其下方考古学价值的教育。许多对遗产的明确威胁也会对人们的健康产生负面影响，例如靠近垃圾处理场以及地面和水污染。收集到的调查数据将用于制定减少和改变垃圾倾倒方向的计划，以及改善住宅单位的废物和水管理系统，以减少地面污染并提高个人健康。取决于社区会议和访谈的结果；该项目将为社区最紧迫的需求制定解决方案。这种包罗万象的方法从未在埃及得到检验，传统上，实地工作在物理上和智力上都与周围环境和社区分开。然而，现在是开发更可持续方法论的好时机，因为古代传说正面临自然力量以及社会、政治和经济变革影响的风险。通过与文物部的合作，如果在其他地点实施，或者更根本地纳入政府战略，可以加速既定方法的影响。
